Walnut Hill VFD Honors Firemen, Community Member During Fish Fry (With Photo Gallery)
November 3, 2019
The Walnut Hill Volunteer Fire Department honored members of the community and the department during their 50th annual fish fry Saturday.
Austin Snyder was named Firefighter of the Year, an award chosen by his fellow firefighters. Gerry Steege was named Officer of the Year and recognized for his service to the department.
Former Northview High School school resource officer Ronnie Gill received the Walnut Hill Volunteer Fire Department’s Community Service Award for outstanding and dedicated service to the community. He now volunteers with multiple school organizations and sports; he missed Saturday’s event and is not pictured because he was at a Northview Cross Country competition.
There were 694 catfish or grilled chicken plates sold, and another 16 people made donations. Proceeds will be used to provide assistance to displaced fire victims in the area. A blood drive and a car show were also part of the event.
